How exciting....today is week #1 of the "2 Blessed 2 Be Stressed" {2B2BS} blog hop. A weekly hop created to grow a community that is all about connecting and sharing some encouragement. So why Wednesday? Wednesday is considered hump day, the middle of the week where you may be overwhelmed and striving to press through the week. Let's reflect on the Word of God, all of our many blessings, and come to the realization that there is no need to stress! Matthew 6:34 states:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
What an awesome hop to share a little encouragement and be a blessing to someone!

Life circumstances will change daily but one thing I know for sure is that Jesus is the the same! Yesterday, Today, and Forevermore! No matter how our day is going or how our current circumstances are going.....Jesus is there and there is nothing that can separate or change that! [I feel like shouting...Hallelujah!] Israel & New Breed's "Jesus is the Same" has truly lifted my spirit and I'm on such a high that I know and truly believe that God is turning things around and moving in our lives. Join me in praise and allow this song to minister to your heart!
{Lyrics}
Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore No other name that can save, deliver and restore Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore There is no other name that is greater than Jesus
Faithful, powerful, wonderful Jesus is Beautiful, merciful, supernatural Jesus is He's highly, mighty, worthy Jesus is Gracious, patient, generous
And there is no other name that is greater than Jesus
Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore No other name that can save, deliver and restore Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore There is no other name that is greater than Jesus
Say it again, say, excellent He is Excellent, magnificent, omnipotent Jesus is Living, giving, loving, (and there is) And there is no other name that is greater than, No other name that is greater than Jesus!
Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore No other name that can save, deliver and restore Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore There is no other name that is greater than Jesus
(Somebody shout!)
(Put your hands together - sing!)
Nothing can separate us, No weapon formed against us, Can stand up to the name of, Jesus, Jesus - no other name!
Nothing can separate us, No weapon formed against us, Can stand up to the name of, Jesus, Jesus - no other name! (Oh, nothing can!)
Nothing can separate us, No weapon formed against us, Can stand up to the name of, Jesus, Jesus - no other name! (Sing it again!)
Nothing can separate us, No weapon formed against us, Can stand up to the name of, Jesus, Jesus - no other name! (One more time...)
Nothing can separate us, No weapon formed against us, Can stand up to the name of, Jesus, Jesus - no other name that is greater than Jesus
The same, yesterday, today and forevermore No other name that can save, deliver and restore Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forevermore There is no other name that is greater than Jesus
June 3, 2006, I married the love of my life and I'm so blessed to be celebrating our 7th year today! Marcus and I began dating our junior year in high school and the journey has been amazing! Of course along the way, we have had some hard times but I am truly thankful that we have always kept God first in our marriage. So today I would like to share seven reasons why I love my marriage and my husband!
I would like to introduce the "2 Blessed 2 Be Stressed" {2B2BS} blog hop starting June 5, 2013. A weekly hop created to grow a community that is all about connecting and sharing some encouragement. So why Wednesday? Wednesday is considered hump day, the middle of the week where you may be overwhelmed and striving to press through the week. My goal is that we reflect on the Word of God, all of our many blessings, and realize that there is no need to stress! Matthew 6:34 states:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I'm so excited to share part 2 of our celebration with you all! Now on to Braylon's 5th Birthday party follow-up. The picture below says it all....we had a blast! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme was a hit and we had so much fun! With the help of my family, we were able to transform our house and backyard to an awesome turtle themed party which was decorated with turtle balloons, ninja themed accessories, and handmade turtle signage. My sisters, cousin, and I decorated green t-shirts from Hobby Lobby with craft paint to bring the festivities to life as the turtles and we also had turtle shells...totally cool! We were able to mutate Braylon's guest with green apple jello ooze to transform them into turtles. With a little felt and ribbon, I was able to pull off the turtle's face masks on a budget!
On to the good stuff.....food, cake, and ice-cream! I had a great time creating turtle themed snacks from sewer lids made from oreo cookies, donnie dipped bos made from chocolate dipped pretzel sticks with sprinkles, a fruit tray, raph jello orange slices, and chips. We can't forget that a turtle party wouldn't be successful without pizza. Cowabunga dudes...we had lots of pizza. I also enjoyed baking my son's birthday cake which included a small layer cake decorated with leo turtle and candles in addition to decorated cupcakes and ice-cream. The kids enjoyed it all!
Lastly, the kids had fun by being entertained with turtle cookie decorating, creating ooze, and the most popular "Ninja Obstacle Course." We transformed the backyard into an obstacle course in which the kids were divided up into teams to run through three obstacles (1. Pizza dough station to build the first layer of the pizza with a dough puzzle 2. Travel through the sewer tent to put the sauce (puzzle pieces) on top of the dough. 3. Through the foot soldier maze to get the the cheese for the final topping) on to defeat the foot solider (my husband Marcus) with water balloons. Everyone enjoyed the obstacle course and after defeating the foot solider, the kids were ready for some lemo-ooze and goody bags! Braylon had a great 5th birthday and I'm so happy for all the love and support from family and friends!
